Docker directory and cache. Order of steps to clean up before recreating cache to ZFS.

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I'm unsure the order of the steps, maybe even all of the steps involved, to get all my dockers over to spinners before recreating my cache to ZFS. I'd like to use snapshot instead of Backup/Restore Appdata for backups.

 

My Docker settings Default appdata storage location is:  /mnt/cache_nvme/appdata/

 

I have/had plenty of cache_nvme space and wanted the performance of nvme over spinner for some of my dockers.  Now if that was where all of my dockers were, it probably wouldn't be an issue and I could follow one of spaceinvader's videos to move everything.  The problem is, less important or dockers I didn't feel needed the performance gains being on nvme, I specified in their config to use /mnt/user/appdata/.  

 

Does anyone know the best order to get my mess cleaned up?

 

Should I go through all my contains first and change everything that has /mnt/cache_nvme/appdata to /mnt/user/appdata/?   Actually, should I just go through EVERY container and everywhere there is /mnt/cache_nvme/*, change it to /mnt/user/*  ?   Will changing this location in all of the configs automatically move everything from cache to spinners for said container?

 

Then (2nd) shutdown docker, manually mv everything in /mnt/cache_nvme/ to /mnt/user/ ?   Then (3rd) change the docker settings Default appdata storage location is:  to /mnt/user/appdata/ , then (4th) change all of the shares that use nvme to Array.

 

Start docker back up with my fingers crossed?

 

Once I have everything on spinners and nothing hitting nvme, I can destroy it and recreate with zfs.  After which I "think" I should just change the shares to cache_nvme <-- Array.

 

Obviously I'd take a backup with Backup/Restore Appdata before doing any of the above.  Not sure I'd know how to get back if I mucked up the above but at least I'd have a backup.  ;-)
